New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is fearful that his own team and Major League Baseball are conspiring to end his baseball career, sources tell the New York Daily News.

“He’s scared, because he thinks this is so unbelievably false, and he’s wondering who could be behind this,” a source told the newspaper. “He thinks something could be going on larger than anyone might think.”

Last week, the Miami New Times published the findings of its investigation in the Biogenesis anti-aging lab in the Miami area. That report accused Rodriguez and five other active players of purchasing performance-enhancing drugs from the clinic, which was run by Anthony Bosch. An ESPN.com report later quoted sources that said Bosch personally injected Rodriguez with PEDs.

Through statements from his legal team, Rodriguez has denied all of the new accusations. In 2009, however, he did admit to using PEDs from 2001-2003 while with the Texas Rangers.

The Daily News reports MLB, which is investigating the recent claims, met with the editors of the Miami New Times on Monday in an effort to gain access to the evidence they uncovered during the Biogenesis investigation. That evidence includes handwritten letters and files from the clinic; the Miami New Times posted much of that evidence online last week.

In addition to the PED accusations, the 37-year-old Rodriguez is rehabbing from mid-January hip surgery, which will keep him sidelined until at least the All-Star break. There has been speculation that A-Rod never will play another game with the Yankees, either because of his physical condition or because they will try to void his contract. The team owes him $114 million over the next five years. A source close to A-Rod told ESPNNewYork.com that he has no plans to retire.

Also named in the Miami New Times report: Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, Texas Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz, Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland A’s Bartolo Colon and San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal all tested positive for PEDs in 2012 and been suspended by MLB, while Rodriguez, Cruz and Gonzalez have denied any involvement with PEDs.
